Usando Cargo

Cuando empieces a informarte sobre Rust, conocerás Cargo, la herramienta estándar que se utiliza en el ecosistema de Rust para crear y ejecutar sus aplicaciones. En este artículo, te ofrecemos una breve descripción de lo que es Cargo, cómo se integra en el ecosistema más amplio y cómo encaja en esta formación.

Instalación

Sigue las instrucciones que se indican en https://rustup.rs/.

This will give you the Cargo build tool (cargo) and the Rust compiler (rustc). You will also get rustup, a command line utility that you can use to install to different compiler versions.

After installing Rust, you should configure your editor or IDE to work with Rust. Most editors do this by talking to rust-analyzer, which provides auto-completion and jump-to-definition functionality for VS Code, Emacs, Vim/Neovim, and many others. There is also a different IDE available called RustRover.

  • On Debian/Ubuntu, you can also install Cargo, the Rust source and the Rust formatter via apt. However, this gets you an outdated rust version and may lead to unexpected behavior. The command would be:

    sudo apt install cargo rust-src rustfmt
